 The terms of the contract and compensation were not immediately clear. Morrell flatly denied he was a contractor when contacted by the Post writing Tuesday, if you write that, you would be wrong. Morrell doubled down in a second email writing, I can't speculate on why he was listed as such by the agency he once led and insisted it's still wrong. A congressional source provided the New York Post with a CIA document outing Morrell as a contractor after his denial. Robert Dugas, CIA Deputy General Counsel for Litigation and Investigation, shared the information.
